This past weekend Amy and I flew to Intercourse, Pennsylvania to visit Bryan and Erica Allain. Well, technically we flew into Philadelphia, but Intercourse is more fun (insert joke here). Here are some highlights:

1. Not dying during our trail half marathon.
I will never do a trail half marathon again. And not because it transformed my feet into shredded hamburger patties. I just don’t want to.

2. Joking about town names.
If you like “That’s what she said” jokes (and who doesn’t?), this geographic region would have been your Mecca. Not only did we stay in Intercourse, but we had to drive through Blue Ball, PA to get to the race.*

3. The park.
I know LOST is just a TV show and fusing two timelines together isn’t technically possible, but I swear I witnessed it. Bryan and I went to a local ballpark on Saturday night and experienced the most perfect, most bizarre blend of mid-nineteenth century bonnet-wearing Amish and modern-day, Hollister-wearing teenagers. Together. Playing. Laughing. Collectively wondering why I was staring at them.

4. Becoming part of The Bachelorette cult.
I didn’t mean to. It just, kind of, well…snuck up on me. I am now a fan.**

5. Hijacking Bryan’s Advertising Brilliance.

*Not that I even know what it means. I just heard Bryan making a lot of jokes about it.

**For those of you who watch, two things: 1. Last night, right before she chose the Weatherman, there’s a quick clip of him already wearing the rose. Editing fail. 2. Craig R. is the Andy Bernard of the show.
